Match 6 – Queen Zelina defeated Rhea Ripley
The match was even shorter than one minute and it is really frustrating to see Rhea Ripley jobbing in such a way. Nikki ASH caused an unwanted distraction for Rhea, Zelina took the advantage of the situation by pinning her with a rollup.

Lashley was dominating this match as well, meanwhile, Rollins was off the ring as Owens came out and attacked him so that Lashley gets disqualified. And that was exactly what happened.

Next up was the Miz TV. Maryse was the host and Miz was the guest tonight. It was mostly a promotion for the match between Miz and Edge at Day 1. Edge also appeared and the duo argued. The conversation became physical at the end. As Edge was about to hit Miz with a Spear, Miz used Maryse as a human shield and beat down Edge. Maryse was upset since Miz used her as a shield, she slapped Miz right in the face and left the ring.
Match 9 – Bobby Lashley defeated Big E in a no disqualification match
It was a worthy main event. It was really fun and there were plenty of hardcore moments as well. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins interfered during the match and started beating down both Lashley and E, they fought back and beat them down. At the end, when E and Lashley was about to fight again, MVP hit E on the knee, Lashley capitalized quickly with a spear and pinned him. Bobby Lashley stood tall as this week’s RAW went off air.
Overall, it was a mixed week. They focused on building Bobby Lashley as one of the strongest forces and they did it pretty well. United States title is not being booked at all for quite a time, just like the IC title, which is quite terrible. Once again no booking for the 24/7 Championship. Rhea Ripley jobbing is not a good look either. We give it 2 out of 5.
